INCITS 452-2008 (D1699): AT Attachment 8 - ATA/ATAPI Command Set

This standard specifies the AT Attachment command set between host systems and storage devices. It provides a common command set for systems manufacturers, system integrators, software suppliers, and suppliers of intelligent storage devices. It includes the PACKET feature set implemented by devices commonly known as ATAPI devices. This version integrates ANSI Editor and public review comments.

INCITS 451:2008 (D1700): AT Attachment – 8 Architecture Model

This standard describes the AT Attachment Architectural Model. The purpose of the architecture model is to provide a common basis for the coordination of ATA standards and to define those aspects of ATA system behavior that are independent of a particular technology and common to all implementations.

This standard specifies the AT Attachment Interface between host systems and storage devices. It provides a common attachment interface for systems manufacturers, systems integrators, and suppliers of intelligent storage devices. It includes the Packet Command feature known as the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI). This standard maintains a high degree of compatibility with the AT Attachment - 6 with Packet Interface (ATA/ATAPI-6), 1410D, and while providing additional functions, is not intended to require changes to presently installed devices or existing software.

INCITS 370-2004 (1510D): ATA Host Adapter Standards

This standard specifies an Open Host Controller Interface for ATA host adapters. Different types of host adapters, methods for their identification, and the programming interfaces used are defined.

This standard specifies the AT Attachment Interface between host systems and storage devices. It provides a common attachment interface for systems manufacturers, systems integrators, and suppliers of intelligent storage devices. It includes the Packet Command feature known as the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI). This standard maintains a high degree of compatibility with the AT Attachment - 5 with Packet Interface (ATA/ATAPI-5), 1321D, and while providing additional functions, is not intended to require changes to presently installed devices or existing software.

This standard specifies a firmware (BIOS) interface for accessing an area of ATA drives that is normally hidden via the SETMAX command. This firmware interface builds on ATA/ATAPI-4 (INCITS 317-1998) to provide services that an operating system may use to access the hidden area in the same manner as a removable media device. This standard provides these capabilities using the existing ATA/ATAPI-4 command set, therefore it does not require changes to existing devices that support the optional SETMAX command. This also describes the Boot Engineering Extension Record (BEER).

This standard specifies the AT Attachment Interface between host systems and storage devices. It provides a common attachment interface for systems manufacturers, systems integrators, and suppliers of intelligent storage devices. It includes the Packet Command feature known as the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI).
